Yang Hui

His book (now lost), known as Rújī Shìsuǒ (如積釋鎖) or Piling-up Powers and Unlocking Coefficients, was known through his contemporary mathematician Liu Ruxie (劉汝諧).

[5] There were also a number of other geometrical problems and theoretical mathematical propositions posed by Yang that were strikingly similar to the Euclidean system.

[7] However, the first books of Euclid to be translated into Chinese was by the cooperative effort of the Italian Jesuit Matteo Ricci and the Ming official Xu Guangqi in the early 17th century.

[8] Yang's writing represents the first in which quadratic equations with negative coefficients of 'x' appear, although he attributes this to the earlier Liu Yi.

[11] It was awarded to Salvatore Capozziello for his work with Noether symmetries; Mahouton Norbert Hounkonnou for his work in deformed quantum algebras; and to Delfim F. M. Torres for his mathematical modelling of COVID-19 in 2023 at the International Conference on Mathematical Analysis, Applications and Computational Simulation (ICMAACS 2023), Shanghai, China, November 22-26, 2023.
